## Description

Akira 5 : Otomo, Katsuhiro: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Timeless Cyberpunk - Akira still remains one of the best cyberpunk media to ever exist. No doubt in that since it's popularity is still high after all these years. The manga came in great condition and is quite big in my opinion. It measures 25.5 cm in length and 17.5 cm in width, bigger than a standard manga. Might be a little hard to carry around but you should go for it.
Review: This thing is great! - Akira is where the scale is humongous and it just gets bigger and bigger. The story closes in on its finale. The artwork of Katsuhiro Otomo is just blew up my mind!!! I mean you have to roll your eyes atleast couple of times through each of the panel. The buildings and cables and wires are drawn very well. The colour pages are awesome too. Akira is perhaps the most influential and dynamic work manga industry will ever get! It never felt like a 1980's manga when I read it. It was miles ahead of it's time and its safe to say that it still is... Very complicated concept yet brilliantly explained in the story to make everyone understand. Katsuhiro Otomo is downright a God when it comes to manga! Most mangakas in Japan who are successful today are partially because of this man's genius. What else do you expect from a single six volume epic?...

*by Z***G on 18 January 2022*

If you only read one Manga Akira is THE one to go for. All six volumes are awesome. The amazing detail, flawed characters, the sense of movement in the action and the frankly HUGE story. The anime is a masterpiece but only really scratches the surface really. All six volumes are to be devoured then reread annually! I always get something out of each revisit whether it's just flicking through or reading properly. Otomo is a true auteur. Love it!
